Slight conflict here at The Bitter Guide over the passing of Aaron Spelling. Did he do anything that I enjoyed at all?

In any case, he leaves to us a legacy of bad to mediocre tv, and Call of Cthulhu star Tori Spelling.

I'll confess that I'm a big fan of Charmed.

Wow, Tori Spelling in a Cthulhu movie? Talk about things man was not meant to know/see!

[tfbretz.livejournal.com]

Gilligan's Island?

The Brady Bunch?

Kindred: The Embrace?

Charmed?

OK, I got nuthin'...

How about this? He made mediocrity the new average.

[thebitterguy]

And he got rich doing it. The American dream!

You know you have a copy of the Kindred: The Embraced DVD.

You know it.

Fess up.

Guilty as charged.

I do not, in fact, have any digital or analog version of K:tE. I have many wonderful (?) memories of its original screenings.

the plurality indicates that you kept coming back for more, junkie. I'll fess. I watched it for a while too, though I did burn out pretty quickly.

Yes. On the upside, he brought Vampire: The Masquerade to TV.

On the downside, he turned it into Vampire: 90210. Perhaps he thought he was doing justice to the subject of vampires by sucking all the life out of it.

I can't help but thing that season 2 would have... Ah, who am I kidding.

Well, Mark Frankel (the Prince) died in a motorcycle accident shortly after the show was cancelled, so a second season probably wouldn't have been feasible anyhow.

[thebitterguy]

True. I don't know how they would have handled it, really. Maybe turned his neice (?) into the prince.

It might have been interesting to see, in any case.
